In ca!lin~ the meetir~ to order at ~.~0 P.~., the ?~ayor said this
would only be a get-together az no defihite decisions can be made thio
evening, regardir~ the five acres of lake front prooerty recently
~archased bythe City for $$0,000.00.

no definite plans except the making of a shel2 rock parking area and a
ram~ for small boats; also a lot of blasting would be needed in order
zo make a channel, becauoe of the rock~ He asked ~hether the Boat
Club had any s~o~gestions.
~r. Henry Olson, spokesman for the Club, said he thought the City
had made a good move; that the Ciub had plans but they were not yet in
the blue print stage. One thing ~eeded is the ramp; they would also
like a lease on a small plot for a club house. The club has about 25
members and would improve the land for the club house at their own
expense, doing the work themselves, w~thout askir~help from the City.
They promise the buildir~ ~ll be a credit to the City. They w~ld
also like a space near the v~ter for their more or less private
house.
The ~a~or said the property should be surveyed to see exactly what
the City has, and then try to locate a plot v~ich will be beneficial to
the Club, and not objectionable ~o other citizens. He thought the plot
ohould preferably be adjacent ~o Sh~ commercial area and suggested the
Club appoint a p!annir~ committee to sugges~ their ideas to the Council,

launching site, a~d said steps would be taken at the next Co~Lucil ~eting
